Not updating tag metadescription

[BaggioMarco]

Hi,

first thank you so much for this great plugin, really.
I'd like to ask you how could I solve the issue related to the update of the 'yoast_wpseo_metadesc' for tags.
if I create a post, your plugin successfully update the field 'yoast_wpseo_metadesc', but if I create a new tag, the tag get created, but the metadescription is not.

Could you please help to undestand why and how could I do it?
Here an example of my code:

    tag_post = {
        'name': 'my new tag''
        'description': '<p>This is the tag description</p>',
        'yoast_meta': {
            'yoast_wpseo_metadesc': 'THIS SHOULD BE THE METADESCRIPTION',
        } ,

    }
    r = requests.post(url + '/tags', headers=header, json=tag_post)

Just to let you know that looking at the endpoints in /wp-json/wp/v2/tags, your plugin added correctly the field 'yoast_wpseo_metadesc', but I cannot edit it using the POST method.

PS: I did not test the same approch with categories (/wp-json/wp/v2/categories), but maybe I guess that if it does not work with tags, maybe the same issue could be also while creating yoast metadescription for categories

thank you in advance

Hi @BaggioMarco, I haven't worked on this plugin for some time, but I'm going to take another look at it this weekend and give it some TLC. I have a feeling the official plugin might offer some more features by now.

thanks @ChazUK! Regarding the official plugin I could not find an example on how to add a Yoast metadescription by rest API (POST method on a simple Wordpress post). How could I do it? Thanks in advance,
